The Arkansas Mountain Bike Championship Series (AMBCS) was formed in 1996 when several promoters decided to bring their individual events together and add continuity and professionalism to make a series. Today the AMBCS reaches riders from all over Arkansas and surrounding states and offers races for any age group from youth to masters, for any experience level from the first time rookie to the experienced professional, and for anyone else with a desire. Each race in the series gives the riders a multitude of different terrain, from old-school single track to beautiful flow.
